WARNING!!! Please do not perform any of these exercises unless they have been prescribed to you by one of our doctors. When performed correctly, none of these exercises should cause any pain. If you experience any pain or discomfort during or after any exercise, stop immediately and let us know.
Purpose:

Where to Feel it:
Gentle stretch around your jaw.
Description:
- Press your fingers against your chin.
- On an inhale, protrude your jaw lightly (only 10% of your effort) into the resistance of your fingers, which will keep your jaw from actually moving forward.
- On the exhale, relax the jaw and let it retract back.
- Remember to always keep breathing!
